Abstract
A theory of reference-plane positions for the substrate-mediated dispersion energies is presented. It is found that two reference-plane positions, and , are required for the description of the interference and image interactions between two atoms (molecules) in the presence of a surface. Model calculations for , , and other dispersion coefficients are presented for a number of adsorption species on jellium and noble-metal substrates.
